 | | Geons, Black Holes, and Quantum Foam(Updated) A Life in Physics by John Archibald Wheeler, Kenneth William Ford, Timothy Hsu, Robert P. Matthews Paperback, 389 Pages, Published 2000 by W. W. Norton & Company ISBN-13: 978-0-393-31991-0, ISBN: 0-393-31991-1 "What are little physicists made of? Geons, Black Holes & Quantum Foam, in John Wheeler's science autobiography. To the rest of us, getting excited over the properties of atomic nuclei and the forces that hold invisible particles together may seem eccentric, to say the least. But physicists hold the secrets of the universe in their heads, and they have a special place in human history. Einstein, Bohr, Fermi, Oppenheimer--their nam ..." |
 | | Gravitation and Inertia(1st Edition) by Ignazio Ciufolini, John Archibald Wheeler, Curtis G. Callan, Paul Steinhardt Hardcover, 498 Pages, Published 1995 by Princeton University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-691-03323-5, ISBN: 0-691-03323-4 "Einstein's standard and battle-tested geometric theory of gravity - spacetime tells mass how to move and mass tells spacetime how to curve - is expounded in this book by Ignazio Ciufolini and John Wheeler. They give special attention to the theory's observational checks and to two of its consequences: the predicted existence of gravitomagnetism and the origin of inertia (local inertial frames) in Einstein's general relativity - inertia ..." |
 | | A Journey into Gravity and Spacetime(1st Edition) ("Scientific American" Library) by John Archibald Wheeler Paperback, 258 Pages, Published 1999 by W. H. Freeman ISBN-13: 978-0-7167-6034-4, ISBN: 0-7167-6034-7 "Driven by the belief that gravity makes the closest connection between the world we see around us and the inner-most workings of the universe, distinguished physicist John Archibald Wheeler applies Einstein's battle-tested theory to both familiar and exotic pheonomena. Gravity, he shows, is not a force acting at a distance; it is mass gripping spacetime, telling it how to curve, and spacetime gripping mass, telling it how to move. ..." |

 | | The conceptual foundations of contemporary relativity theory by John Cowperthwaite Graves, John Archibald Wheeler Hardcover, 361 Pages, Published 1971 by M.I.T. Press ISBN-13: 978-0-262-07040-9, ISBN: 0-262-07040-5 "The central conceptual idea of the contemporary theory of general relativity—or geometrodynamics—is the identification of matter with the structure of space-time. No entities foreign to space-time, like masses, charges, or independent fields are needed, and physics thus becomes identical with the geometry of space-time. This idea implies a philosophical description of the universe that is monistic and organic, characterized by an all-en ..." |
